The paper presents the use of scripting cartographic techniques for the visualization of topographic and geomorphological maps by R and GMT. The thematic maps intend to analyze the region of Peru with specific focus on its geomorphology: slope, aspect, elevation and hillshade performed in R libraries 'raster' and 'tmap'. The integrated free materials include several datasets embedded in R library 'OpenStreetMap': Stamen, ESRI World Imagery, Bing Maps, National Park Service. The research shows a particular example of the use of open source datasets and free tools available for distance-based online education and research, which becomes an actual tendency in modern geographic research.

Abstract
The paper presents the use of scripting cartographic techniques for the visualization of topographic and geomorphological maps by R and GMT. The thematic maps intend to analyze the region of Peru with specific focus on its geomorphology: slope, aspect, elevation and hillshade performed in R libraries 'raster' and 'tmap'. The integrated free materials include several datasets embedded in R library 'OpenStreetMap': Stamen, ESRI World Imagery, Bing Maps, National Park Service. The research shows a particular example of the use of open source datasets and free tools available for distance-based online education and research, which becomes an actual tendency in modern geographic research.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
